Remembered today for his piano favourite 'The Rustle of Spring', Christian Sinding ranked second only to Grieg in his homeland and was honored abroad, composing a wealth of immediately appealing and well-crafted Romantic music including the works for violin and piano on this disc. Playing a richly sonorous 1744 Guarneri del Gesu, violinist Henning Kraggerud (whose recording of violin concertos by Sibelius and Sinding was acclaimed as "a masterly performance... warm and powerful, with a confident, wide vibrato and immaculate intonation" by Gramophone) joins Christian Ihle Hadland, one of Norway's most exciting young piano talents.
